They are Azad Khan, Kim King, Joel Williams, Lakeram Singh, Parbhudyal Seenauth and Phillip Azore. The seventh winner will be announced following a drawing at the Diamond location later this month.
The Christmas promotion was launched on September 9, 2022 and ended on December 29 with $30 million up for grabs, including seven motorcars.

Customers who spent $5000 in any self-service store or $100,000 in any of the wholesale departments were eligible to participate in all the locations – Rose Hall, Canje; Beterverwagting, Diamond, Land of Canaan, Nismes, Parika and the flagship store at McDoom.
This promotion, the brainchild of Gaffoors’ Founder and Executive Chairman Sattaur Gafoor, was an opportunity for the business to give back to its customers.
Established 70 years ago, the company has held long-lasting relationships with customers, and is highly regarded within the construction and hardware industry in the country.
“[This giveaway] is indicative of the value that we place on our customers,” Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Gafsons Industries, David Faulkner, related. “We want you to benefit as much as we’ve benefitted, not just from the business, but from knowing you and being part of your projects.”
Twenty-three-year-old Joel Williams of Yarrowkabra on the Linden-Soesdyke Highway is a first-time winner of any promotion of this kind, and expressed disbelief when he found out he had won.
“At first I didn’t actually believe it, because I had a prank call that morning about something like this; so, when I got the call [that I actually won], I felt that it was another prank,” Williams related, while adding that the new car is a special addition to his life.
Having recently moving into a new home at Ann’s Grove, Kim King is now grateful to have a new car to allow for the ease of trips to church and other daily errands.
“I feel blessed to have the privilege to win the car, because that was God’s doing,” King said.
Similarly, Parbhudyal Seenauth of Canal No 2, West Bank Demerara (WBD), a regular Gafoors customer, was longing for a car, since he usually walks to church each Sunday; and is grateful to finally own one.
The promotion has been extended to customers at the company’s Diamond branch, who have been unable to participate due to consistent road construction.
In addition to the cars, more than 200 consolation prizes, including bicycles, A/C units, power tools, solar lights, and paint bundles, were handed out.
